Julián returns to Atletico training with no transfer news

Atletico Madrid players who competed at the World Cup in South Korea began their return this Tuesday after arriving Monday morning. According to Mundo Deportivo, the team resumes group training Wednesday at 9 a.m., though some players were already working at Majadahonda following individual recovery programs.

Julián Álvarez arrived around 11:30 a.m. after completing medical tests Monday alongside Baena and Marcos Llorente. The club explains the Argentine is following a personalized workload program, like other international players, so his morning absence does not indicate any issue.

Atletico reiterates there is no news regarding the forward's future: they insist he is not for sale and they count on him for next season. A position confirmed by Simeone on Saturday during the press conference ahead of the friendly against Manchester City.
